Using the System Exclusive View
The System Exclusive view has a list box for a maximum of 256 Sysx
banks, plus a toolbar of buttons. Most of the buttons affect whatever bank
you have selected in the list. Certain buttons will be disabled if the selected
bank is empty. To open the System Exclusive view, choose the Sysx
command from the View menu, or click the Sysx view icon in the Views
toolbar.
SONAR stores Sysx messages as either Sysx banks or Sysx data. The
main difference is in the number of bytes in the message, and also that
Sysx data is only visible in the Event List view as SysxData events. A Sysx
data message can have up to 255 bytes in it. You can send Sysx data to an
instrument without interrupting playback (depending on the speed of your
computer and the number of bytes in the message), however, sending a
Sysx bank stops playback until all of the Sysx bank is transmitted. Sysx
banks are usually sent to your instrument when you load your work file.
SONAR asks you each time you load a project file if you want to send any
existing Sysx banks the file contains that are marked for auto-sending.
Clicking the Auto Send Bank button in the Sysx view toolbar marks or
unmarks a selected bank for auto-sending.
